Most consumer electronics products belong to the category of high volume and low mix. These products are mostly produced on a large volume basis at a moderate or low cost. Requirements for PCBA manufacturing processes are not as complicated as industrial products. The supply chain’s priority is getting enough preparation on components and manufacturing with a competitive cost in a short lead time. An important feature of consumer electronics products is their price must trend for lower prices over time to maintain competency. So continuous improvement of supply chain efficiency and continuous decline of costs are mandatory. In addition, selecting and balancing the supply business model between BTO (Build to Order) and BTS (Build to Stock)is one of the significant competencies at the architecture level.
If you are looking for a candidate for high volume, low, mixed products manufacturing, Eashub is the favorable and reliable candidate to be in contact with. Compared with others focusing only on orders, we cooperate with customers and plan the most suitable supply chain model, driving long-term competitive cost and success.
